The Genesis Invitational is back at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, and so too are thousands of golf fans.

Tournament Director Mike Antolini said the “energy is in the air…There’s so much to like.”

As of Saturday morning, Valencia native Max Homa stands atop the leaderboard, though there’s still two days left for others — including tournament host Tiger Woods — to make a run.

“It’s been in Ohio as early as the mid-1850s at least, brought in as an ornamental plant because of its unique foliage and white flowers,” Gardner said. “It was actually planted in people’s landscaping, and it has been spreading.”

Tickets are sold out for Saturday, but they remain available for Sunday, Antolini said.
